Once upon a whimsical day, In a sunny park where children play,

Little Aysha Wheeler, bold and bright, Found a scene that spiked her delight.

Six years old, with eyes of gleam, She spotted far a fairy's beam.

A Cheerleading Fairy, wings so wide, Bouncing pom-poms by her side.

“Greetings, Aysha!” called the sprite, Her voice a chirp, her flight so light.

“I bring joy and cheer so grand, To spread it wide across the land.”

Aysha clapped with sheer elation, Filled with thrill and fascination.

Then a bark, both soft and merry, Turned her gaze to find a fairy’s ally.

Annie Oakley, lab of black, Trotted up with a joyful knack.

Together they danced, a trio of friends, In a rhythm that spins and bends.

The fairy taught Aysha a cheer so bright, Lifting spirits to a wondrous height.

They chanted rhymes and jumped so high, Their laughter echoed through the sky.

As sun dipped low, it was time to part, But the day had touched Aysha’s heart.

With a fairy's cheer and a dog's sweet bark, Friendship’s flame had sparked a mark.

So, if you ever wander, where the wild daisies sway, Listen close, you might hear, in the light of the day,

The giggles of Aysha, and Annie's bark so gay, As they leap and they bound, in their magical play.
